HILLSBOROUGH DISASTER Inquiry into Crowd Safety and Control of Sports Grounds - Report of Mr. Justice Popplewell into the Bradford Fire Disaster and the death at Birmingham Football Ground on 11th May, 1985 TERMS OF REFERENCE The Terms of Reference of the above Inquiry was,rto enquire with particular reference to the events at Bradford City and Birmingham Football Grounds on 11th May into the operation of the Safety of Sports Ground Act 1975 and to recommend what if any further steps should be taken including any that may be necessary under additional powers to improve both crowd safety and crowd control at sports grounds .v‘ Timetable 11th May - Disaster took place 13th May - Mr. Justice Popplewell was appointed to undertake Inquiry A public inquiry was held into the Bradford Fire Disaster - a preliminary hearing took place on 23rd May - the full hearing began on 5th June and ended on 13th June. No public inquiry was held into the events at Birmingham Football Ground. Mr. Justice Popplewell presented his interim report to Parliament in July 1985 and the full report was presented to Parliament in January 1986. Persons Involved The following persons were appointed as assessors to the inquiry 1. The Chief Constable of Leicestershire 2. The former Chief Fire Officer of Greater Manchester Areas covered by the final report 1. The Hejjssel Tragedy 2. Previous inquiries 3. The Safety at Sports Grounds Act 4. Crowd Control 5. Hooliganism A list of the persons who gave evidence is enclosed. The Public Inquiry at Bradford Mr. Justice Popplewell considered three questions - 1. How the fire started 2. Why the fire started and why did it cause such casualties 3. What lessons were there to learn for the future. It is interesting to note that in the course of the inquiry Mr. Justice Popplewell mentions a report that was presented to the Minister of Housing and Local Government in 1969 which suggested that the responsibility controlling of crowds behaviour was divided between the police and the club - broadly that the police were responsible for the public thoroughfares and the entry from the public thoroughfares into the ground, whilst the club were responsible for the control of spectators inside. Mr. Justice Popplewell agreed that this was indeed the case. The report goes into great detail about every aspect of the two tragedies and the responsibilities of the Health and Safety Executive, Local Authorities, and the powers of the Fire Authority.
One paragraph is of interest to the current tragedy - paragraph 4.136-8 - here Mr. Justice Popplewell made a suggestion to standardise perimeter fencing. The FA was asked to set up a small working party to help the clubs standardise a design but they declined the invitation. The public inquiry does not seem to have been set up under any particular legislative provision, rather simply by the Secretary of State. JS
